Draft Express: Trade Going Down Today or Tuesday

[Buddahfan]

I think M. Banks is going to be traded tomorrow for a 2nd round pick on 2016.

July 1st players "become" free agents. It's kind of pointless because they can't sign with any team until the 10th.

I heard this too- from a very good source. There is a deal in the pipeline. Im frantically working the phones trying to get the scoop.

working the phones calling who?

unnamed sources.

[phdsteve]

for sure! I have a call in to a "very important person" as we speak.

sometimes, you get the scoop- and sometimes, not so much. I have heard that the Raps have a deal in the pipeline that should be announced within days- but thats as much info as I can get out of anyone at this moment. I know, its not breaking news, but thats just the nature of the biz. If I can get more, believe me, I will post it.

We love you PHD

Doug Smith take note , this is the type of insider stuff we want from you.

[phdsteve]

thanks. btw- Doug Smith is reporting this morning that he is expecting a big deal to be made by BC very soon but like me, cant get anyone with the info to talk!
Lips are pretty tightly sealed as to what that deal is?

People are speculating about NO, Philly, and Sacto as possible trade partners, but there are some other players in this. One source told me last night that San Antonio has shown a strong interest in both the #13 pick and Turk and would be willing to take Turk's contract to make it happen. Like wise Denver apparently is talking about trying to get into the lottery and are offering Ty Lawson as incentive.

Except by virtue of the giant pile of dung that RJ dropped this year I have trouble seeing where a Raptors-Spurs trade could happen. In regards to RJ: only one year left on that deal and his contract is for $15 million (as opposed to $9.8 for Turk) - so again, hard to where/how/why this happens.

Denver can do better than the #13 with Lawson. Indiana will drop the #10 in a heartbeat to get Lawson (imo).

NBA head office may be quelching the trade until play-offs are over - keep the eyes on the finals kind of thing.

So Monday and Tuesday has now morphed into very soon.

Next morph will be sometime before draft

Next morph after that will be during the draft. - Bingo
